it all drives the plot forward so whatever he has planned should be interesting. Maybe there's a TWD/Fatale crossover planned.

Honestly, I liked the first couple of issues better than the third. This issue seemed to tell more story than action. So many questions still and Brubaker is killing me with the schedule on this book. From what he stated, though, I eagerly wait for what is to come.
"This story is just beginning, and I wouldn't do anything that obvious, I hope. It's all about layers and details, and meant to be read a few times, so there's a lot of things you may not get at first reading."
Having read Criminal and Incognito straight through (which are both excellent), its practically ridiculous to read Fatale issue by issue each month. You almost have to just wait until the series concludes and then read it straight through. These books do not read like comics with self contained stories, you're just getting one sliver of a complete story. You wouldn't read a book 40 pages at a time once a month either.
And I think this is especially true on Fatale, where Brubaker said that he wrote it with the intention of having you go back and read it again and again to pick up on certain subtleties and missed cues.
I thought issue 3 is great too but its quite clear that we don't have the whole picture yet to even know where the story is going.

Well it may be a bit different with Fatale since there are Arcs and we're nearing the completion of the first one.

Black Kiss? Never heard of it. I'm curious how it may be similar. Good read?
Edit: Looked it up on ebay. From the covers, looks kind of porny.

Finally caught up and have nothing to add to Julio's discourse. Julio- thanks for some well written thoughts.
I actually like the monthly angle of Fatale. I read issue 3 and then immediately wish that I had a copy or 1 & 2 to read! I'll grab some late prints soon to re-read. To me, that's what great writing does- it makes you pay attention and re-examine what was written before. There are no wasted scenes or throw away lines (unlike, say, 70% of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" novel).
I may share more later, but I don't know what I have to contribute. Again, great write up, Julio.
